Everyone lies. Good guys lose. And love… does not conquer all.

19 Kids and Trapped

I’ve always hated the Duggar family or more specifically the parents and the disturbing way their family is run. Amidst the scandal it made me yet again think about the Duggar girls and how growing up in that family they have to care for the kids (I’m curious what Michelle even does) until they get married.

They don’t have the option to go to college and get more of an education. They don’t have the option to get a job and move out on their own. People have written about how cruel it is that Janna (age 25) is stuck raising her siblings since the option of marriage hasn’t happened yet.

The girls however say they are fine with it all, except for apparently some side comments on the show, but they must want more for themselves. They can’t all want marriage and kids, right? At least one of them must have a dream to be a writer or an engineer or something. Are they just afraid to leave? Is it that they simply don’t know any other love since they have been sheltered for SO long?
